What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Garage door springs are under constant tension and have a finite lifespan, typically measured in cycles (one cycle = one open and one close). Here are the main factors that cause spring failure: **Normal Wear and Tear** Most residential springs are rated for 10,000-15,000 cycles. If you use your garage door 4 times per day, that's about 10-12 years of life. High-cycle springs (25,000-50,000 cycles) are available and recommended for heavy use. **Temperature Fluctuations** Massachusetts winters are tough on springs. Metal contracts in cold weather, making springs more brittle. Many springs fail on the first very cold morning of winter. **Rust and Corrosion** Springs exposed to moisture (from vehicles dripping snow/rain, humidity, or poor ventilation) corrode faster. Rust weakens the metal and accelerates wear. Annual lubrication helps prevent this. **Poor Maintenance** Springs that aren't regularly lubricated work harder and wear out faster. We recommend lubricating springs every 6 months with a silicone-based spray. **Improper Balance** If your door isn't properly balanced, springs work harder on each cycle. Annual balance checks can extend spring life significantly. **Signs Your Springs Are Failing:** • Door feels heavier than usual when lifting manually • Door opens unevenly or crooked • Visible gaps in the spring coils • Squeaking or grinding noises • Door slams closed instead of lowering smoothly If you notice any of these signs, call us for an inspection before the spring breaks completely. Preventive replacement is safer and often more convenient than emergency repair.
